Original text and translations

Latin text O virum mirabilem in signis et prodigiis, languores cum daemoniis quoslibet pellentem. Dat aurem suis avium praedicans silvestrium verbis intendentem. O vita laudabilem, qua fidem sic magnificat; sed et multos vivificat mortuos defunctus. Francisce, nos caelestium fac consortes civium, quibus es coniunctus.

English translation O man marvelous for signs and miracles, driving away afflictions sent by the devil, giving ears and understanding to the birds of the forest when he preached! O praiseworthy life, to [not only] increase faith but to cause many dead to live! Francis, make us citizens with those in heaven among those to whom you are already joined. Translation by Richard Mix
